What it does

Web Search is an agent skill from openakita/openakita. Search the web using DuckDuckGo. Use when you need to find current information, verify facts, look up documentation, or answer questions requiring up-to-date knowledge. Returns titles, URLs, and snippets.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: An open-source AI assistant framework with skills and agent architecture. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to find current information
  • Look up documentation
  • Answer questions requiring up-to-date knowledge

Example prompts

  • “/web-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f5b38d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Web Search loads about 200 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 36 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~200

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
